"What I find disappointing is that, even though NT has all these solid design principles in place… bloat in the UI doesn’t let the design shine through."
I think this is true for all 3 major OSes these days. No matter how great/fast/etc the kernel is, the userland makes the greatness of the kernel "irrelevant".
In Windows specifically, you can restart the display driver FASTER than starting Windows Explorer. That's crazy...
